Re: list of operations for test suite. suggested format



Juergen,

You mentioned in May an IaTestGen - a unit test generator.
Will it be open-source ?
Can we look at its sources and documentation ?

Тема: Re: list of operations for test suite. suggested format

Hi
in our efforts to implement a reference library in C++ we have 
developped a unit test generator. the test cases are to be specified in 
a domain specific language (DSL). Since that tool itself is implemented 
in Java with the help of a compiler generator, changing the DSL is not a 
large problem. the target language may also be changed.

In my eyes the collection relevant of test cases is  more crucial

an abstract accepted for Swim 2013 is attached
